South Santee Inlet

South Santee Inlet is an SE-facing beach break in Charleston County, South Carolina, United States. It picks up swell from NE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 41% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NW: light winds or NW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SE onshores chop it up.
